    Its a good thing this game is free, cause it really isn't worth paying for. Its a decent puzzle game in short bursts, but the games can last for quite a while and get boring fairly quickly. And it doesn't help that the games music is completely forgettable. Overall its worth trying, but don't expect it to keep you coming back for very long.

    It’s not the best puzzle/matching game I’ve played, but it isn’t the most boring. It’s free on the Xbox 360, so I didn’t mind trying it out. If you’re looking for a free game, this one isn’t that bad.

    Found this free on my Xbox and started to play it to see what it was like. Got a bit bored after a while.

    Pretty fun game. From the creator of Tetris. However, I enjoyed Tetris much more than this game. Hexic is more of just a little side thing more than a full fledged game. If you like puzzle games, then you will definitely like this, but at times it can just become more of a brain-sore than fun.

    Free with a hard disk, fun and colourful but nothing exciting. You feel as if you could have spent all your time playing something more fun. But a pretty good puzzle game. Nothing you should really bother about though.

    Even though the game is completely free, I will rate it like any other game I spend time on. And to tell the truth, this is a good puzzle game, with interesting gameplay mechanics, a minimalistic and pleasant design, and a good musical accompaniment (although now it is extremely difficult for me to remember it)

    However, as is the case with most puzzle games on non-portable consoles, I got bored very quickly playing it. All the same, such games have a place on portable consoles, rather than on the Xbox 360 or backward compatibility on the Xbox Series S, like mine. Jigsaw puzzle games should be at the level of "Catharina", no less. But you can still play Hexic HD for a while. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    It's like Tetris but it's not Tetris. It's fun, it helps pass time. But it's not spectacular and it's not memorable.

    I think it's a good game for killing time. When you become bored, you just start a new game and you killing your time instantly. But it's become extremely boring to play when you do it every day.

    Only when you enter the timed mode do you feel that white-knuckled intensity reminiscent when your Tetris screen was filled with blocks.

    A fantastic game that becomes a lot deeper than it first seems once you start learning some of the advanced techniques. A perfect fit for the Xbox Live Arcade.

    Reminiscent of the influential puzzle gaming sensation Bejeweled, Hexic HD is a solid, attractive puzzle game that comes freely preloaded onto the Xbox 360's hard drive.
